Let's talk about menopause and the bladder โ because nobody seems to. ๐
Hot flashes and mood changes get all the attention. But the pelvic floor changes that come with menopause? Largely ignored. And so many women suffer in silence, thinking it is just a normal part of getting older.
It is common. But it is not inevitable. As estrogen declines during perimenopause and menopause, the tissues of the bladder, urethra, and pelvic floor become thinner and less supportive. This can lead to:
๐น Urgency incontinence โ that sudden "gotta go NOW" feeling
๐น Stress incontinence โ leaking with movement, sneezing, laughing
๐น Increased UTI frequency
๐น Pelvic pressure or prolapse symptoms
๐น Painful or uncomfortable s*x
Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses all of this. Directly. Effectively. Without medication as a first resort.
